The Little Schemer Daniel P. Friedman, Matthias Felleisen
Publisher: MIT Press

I gave a few moments thought to translating the Little Schemer to Oz, having just done a big chunk of the Reasoned Schemer (the latest in the Little series). To try out the examples from The Little Schemer, you must first download1 PLT-Scheme. I'll use the Scheme programming language to derive the Y-combinator. I'm working my way through Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP), and The Little Schemer books, so I'm learning Scheme and Lisp too. This will install DrScheme, which is the IDE you will use to type in the Scheme examples. That's all the Y-combinator does.

This book is recommended by one of my nerd friend when I said to him I would like to learn more computer things. I first noticed it in Ruby, even though it's been in JavaScript all along. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. Although I am terrible at computer I love it. My derivation is based on the one in "The Little Schemer" book. The Little Schemer, whose previous editions are titled The Little Lisper, takes a different approach to most technical books.
